I was unable to find a param that can stop the newman json reporter from writing results using the `run` function to disk. Any tips? ---

Hey @docyes 👋 Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman: Could you provide some more context and an example of this please? Doesn’t that reporter create a json file, wouldn’t it need to write to disk to store the file? Perhaps I’m not understanding what you’re doing here. 🤔 ---

Hi Danny, I am interested in using newman as a library [GitHub - postmanlabs/newman: Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman](https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman?tab=readme-ov-file#using-newman-as-a-library) and specifically the json reporter and the run callback paramater in the summary argument: [GitHub - postmanlabs/newman: Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman](https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman?tab=readme-ov-file#newmanruncallbackerror-object--summary-object) Goal is to use the newman.run function and get the results from the reporter and the summary callback instead of having it write the results to the file system. ---

If you’re using it as a library within a script, you don’t need to attach a reporter. All of the data that gets fed into all the reporters comes from the Summary Object. You need to use the various `.on()` events to capture this during the run and that can be logged to the console. > **[GitHub - postmanlabs/newman: Newman is a command-line collection runner for...](https://github.com/postmanlabs/newman?tab=readme-ov-file#newmanrunevents)** > > Newman is a command-line collection runner for Postman - postmanlabs/newman ---

That makes sense. So my specific question is what is the option to pass telling Newman to not write results to disk if I am manually capturing them. It’s not the end of the world but having a process that writes to disk (Newman) requires a cleanup activity from a developer standpoint. So passing a null reporter will solve this? ---

The default reporter is the CLI reporter, that will log the requests details and a summary of the run in the form of a table, to the terminal. You would just need to remove the `-r ` from your command. ---

Ok, so use the default reporter and write my own json reporter from the event listener? ---

If that’s something that you’d like to do - there have been many great community reporters created. It would be great to see what you come up with. ❤ ---
